Question

3 times a number xx, subtracted from 1818, is less than -90.?90. Write an inequality for the statement above. Find the solution set of the inequality. Write the solution using a fraction or integer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The inequality is

18-3x < -90

The solution set is

x > 36

Answer 2

The solution set is: x>36

Explanation:

We are given that we have to subtract 3 times of some number 'x' from 18 such that the resulting equation is less than -90.

this means that : 18-3x<-90

on solving the inequality by adding 3x on both side and adding 90 on both side we get that

108<3x

now on dividing both side by 3 we get that

x>36

Hence our solution set is: x>36
